Are the pre-GE folks dead?

Well, i also am a player from before the GE on the original RS. 2005 or 2006 i guess.
I've got double feelings by this. On my old main account, i cant live without the GE. Its easy way to buy items, but i'm not overusing it to get my own materials. I'll only use it to buy the hard to get upgrades, or tot quickly buy that one quest item you forgot that you can also buy in a shop somwhere in ardougne, but i'm too lazy and pay the tripple amount for it to get that one rope.
I'm mostly playing ironman accounts tho. And not because of the GE, but because i love to play the game it was intended to. To actually use the skills. (seriously, who of the non-ironman accounts use their skills? have you ever trained mining, fishing or woodcutting?)
I remember those crowds at the bank and fally park, and it made the game seem so much more alive. But at the same time, when i think about it. I didnt even know how the game worked back then. the first 3 years of me playing runescape my highest level was maybe 20 woodcutting? It took ages to upgrade your gear, because it was (for a kid) impossible to get in between these lobster and coal spams, to find your adamant sword. Especially if your english wasnt that good back then. Nowadays, i probably can handle that. But it would be a disaster for other players that lack the language, time and patience to do so. (and yea, that is a thing these days)
I always used the general stores to see if there was something i could buy there for a bargain. Always out of money here. I remember i once bought a rune scimitar there (idk what noob it sold to the general store tho) but i was so happy with that rune scimmy. Just to find out my levels were too low to use it.
That scimitar is still on my bank today, however it's been used already. I love the nostalgia, but i should not want to go back to that, if you dont like the ge, start an ironman account! or play like one and trade manually if you like that so much
